Milestone XProtect ® Express 2014 Administrator's Manual

Name Description
Video channel # enabled
Enable/disable each of the selected hardware device's video
channels. Many hardware devices only have a single video
channel, in which case only one channel will be listed. Other
hardware devices
—typically video encoder devices—have several
video channels.
If some of the channels are unavailable, this is because you are not licensed to use all of a video
encoder device's channels.
Example: You have a video encoder device with four channels, but your license for the device only
allows you to use two of them. In that case, you can only have two channels enabled at a time, while
the two other channels are disabled. Note that you are free to select which two channels you want to
enable. Contact your Milestone vendor if you need to change your number of licenses.
Network, device type, and license
When you configure hardware devices (on page 57), specify the following properties:
Name Description
IP Address IP address or host name of the hardware device.
HTTP Port
Port to use for HTTP communication with the hardware device.
Default is port 80. To use the default port, select Use default HTTP
port.
FTP port

Default port is port 21. To use the default port, select Use default
FTP port.
User name
Only relevant when you have selected Server requires login.
Specify the user name required for using the SMTP server.
User Name
User name for the hardware device's administrator account. Many
organizations use the hardware device manufacturer's default user
names for their hardware devices. If that is the case in your
organization, select <default> (do not type a manufacturer's default
user name as this can be a source of error
—trust that your system
knows the manufacturer's default user name).
You can also select other typical user names, such as admin or
root, from the list. Type a new user name if you want a user name
which is not on the list.
Password
Password for the hardware device's administrator account, a.k.a.
the root password.
Hardware type
Read-only field displaying the type of video device driver used for
communication with the hardware device.
Serial number (MAC address)

number is usually identical to the 12-character hexadecimal MAC
address of the hardware device (example: 0123456789AF).
